The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an picture, allowing capturing darker subjects. Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the picture with less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under the same brightness.
•Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of pictures.
